Though Bethesda stated in August that Prey 2 has not been cancelled, but that the first-person shooter prequel is "not coming out this year," a tweet by Human Head's Nathan Cheever makes the game's future sound even more uncertain, saying: "P2 hasn't been officially canceled, only in limbo." Kotaku contacted Bethesda to learn more about this limbo state, and got nothing, as they received the following reply: "We don't have any additional information to share on the status of Prey 2."
